II Corinthians 6:14-16
Excerpted from: Faith (Part 4)This series of verses in II Corinthians 6 is not an appeal for us to break all of our worldly associations. You might recall that Paul urged the Christian partner in a divided marriage to strive to maintain the relationship as long as possible. But rather what this is here in II Corinthians 6 is an appeal to avoid close associations. There is a reason for this. Let's read a little bit more because he's asking a series of rhetorical questions. The answer to these questions is obvious. He says,
Just the opposite of what Lot did. Do not go into it. Come out of it. Do not deliberately make those close associations with the world. It is alright to do business with them. It is alright to work with them. But you do not get hooked up with them.
That last couple of lines there, "I will be a Father to you and you shall be My sons and daughters," seems to hinge on whether or not we are allowing ourselves to get yoked to the world and those associations. The reason that God does not want these close associations with the world is because it almost inevitably leads to compromise with godly standards. It jeopardizes the consistency of the Christian's witness for God because there is a force there, a spiritual force in the world, that brings it about because the unbeliever does not share the Christian's standards, his sympathies, his goals in life.
